To accomplish this each person in the club undertook the supervising ot the program for one meeting. Among the programs were puppet plays presented by members of the club and movies and slides depicting French art and culture. One meeting was turned into a quiz contest with a professeur asking questions about French literature and geography. At the annual exhibit, the club pre sented folk songs and popular melodies. Through these varied pro- grams the interest ot the members was kept high during the year. 'zamafic The Footlights was awakened from its summer slumber to find as energetic and enthusiastic a group of young Thespians as ever trod the stage of Bellows High School. Under the capable direction of Miss Larmon and Mr. Corfield the two dramatic productions, The Nativity and The Terrible Meek , marked the Christmas and Easter seasons with special impressiveness. As the Drama Season opened on Broadway, members who were fortunate enough to attend Current successes brought the club inter- esting reports. Also quiz contests, plays, play readings, pantomime and discussions have composed programs that make the Footlights one ot the most interesting clubs in the school.

C7155 inet CIM The Fixit Club, a new organization under the leadership of Mr. Lidstrom, has for its main aim the repairing of property, both school and private, before it reaches a stage where a real expense would be involved if it had to be mended by an expert. The work is done in an entirely individual manner. As soon as a request for services is received, a member collects the ailing article, makes the repairs, and returns it promptly. The club, preserving school property and saving expense as it does, has proved a most valuable service organization. omsfiflon nas Under conditions made difficult by war the club has enlarged its friendships and strengthened its ties with countries where boys and girls are carrying on the routine of life in spite of the impending shadow of disaster. The fact that most of our pen pals write from England, Austria, Finland and China has been of deep significance The routine of meetings was varied in February by a Valentine Tea for faculty members and parents who were made acquainted with the interests of the club by a program of letter reading and talks by a member who had lived in Labrador and another who had visited lreland. An interesting exhibit of pictures and presents from our foreign friends was displayed. During the year two dolls dressed in current American modes have gone to Japan and Hawaii and in return we have received dolls. OFFICERS Pmvidrnt Angelo I.

U55 Alfudinf 05151051 The Student Observer is the official publicity organ of our school. Its function is to record the news, both serious and amusing, of school life for the edificatton of students, faculty, and all others interested in the school. Its preparation offers' excellent opportunities for those interested in newspaper work. The Student 0bserver is published once a month. Like another famous publication, it offers All The News That's Fit To Print . Presumptuous as this may sound to the casual ear, it is gratifying to note that the parents, formerly known to be vaguely concerned with matters educational, are now perusing school news with keen personal interest in what their children are doing. .fsafgazczaff In this organization the members, both boys and girls, work in an informal manner and learn the story of leather and the different stages it passes through from the time it leaves the animal until it is ready to be fashioned. A new product, catalin, was introduced this year. lts variety of brilliant colors and adaptibility made it a popular material and numerous articles were created with it. Besides these, bill folds, book bindings, cigarette cases, tobacco pouches, and other useful articles were pro- duced by the leathercraftsmen.
